There is no bank facility up to 5 km in most villages specially in hilly region, no any internet service facility and like other services.For 10/- Rupee stamp paper in my village, villagers spent 200/- as a bus fair and almost 12 hrs time . So I think govt should utilize the post office to provide such type of services by recruit tech. staff in rural post office.

like 'asha' or an 'aanganwadi', we can have a 'postwadi' which can create employment option for a local youth and at the same time resolute the problem of difficult to locate unnumbered huts/houses in villages and malin basties where people fail to clear the KYC BANK norms & thus fail to open bank accounts. this is a practical truth which i shared with the previous government and they were very prompt in writing to the kanpur administration to resolve the problem positively .

The post has vast pool of savings. It can start a mutual fund offering variety of products like debt, equity, gilt, . This will offer more investment options to people and will help in curbing ponzi schemes like sharda.
